After three months its finished – well the fifth draft, at
least, is done of Body Perfect. As mentioned before Pam and I have put
ourselves under the gun to submit Body Perfect for a contest before the end of
April. I vowed to have the version complete
by the end of this weekend and earlier this morning dispatched it to Pam for
her to review. We plan to get together
in mid April for any final tweaking..and
then send it off! When that’s done, I’m
putting Body Perfect on a shelf for at least six months! Well, unless a publisher wants it re-worked
of course.
We have learned so much with this story and both of us feel
we’ve honed our skills immensely – not that we’re perfect, but
progressing. And are anxious to jump
into our third story – with lessons learned.
And then in a few short weeks it will be time to attend BloodyWords! Exciting and glad its closer to
home this year.
The past few weeks have been tiring to say the least. Work eight hours and then come home and log
on to keep going with Body. Perhaps now
life will settle somewhat and I won’t feel as guilty if I want to waste an
evening on Facebook! Today has basically
been a pajama day in order to get the draft complete. I rewarded myself with a viewing of new-to-video
“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”...great movie, but long! Very true to the book, but even at 2 and ½ hours
couldn’t include everything. I think I’d
like to watch it again, just not today.
Speaking of Facebook, does anyone like the new Timeline
concept? When I logged on to our
JamieTremain page, I had to update it and find a new cover photo – hope Pam
approves! But I find the Timeline hard
to follow at times – oh well that’s progress I suppose. While Pam reviews Draft Five, I plan to go
over it and ensure we have our timelines in order – at least that’s one that
makes sense to me.
Weekend’s half over – do enjoy what’s left.
Cheers!
Liz
